Before you get the aw man here we go with this again Brett Favre is returning to football but not to the NFL, Favre will be an assistant high school coach in Mississippi.  In the fall Brett Favre will be working at Oak Grove High School close to his home in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. The Biloxi Sun-Herald reported that Favre is expected to be the offensive coordinator for the powerhouse football program.  In the past,  Favre has helped out with the team unofficially and head coach Nevil Barr stated that they had discussed Favre working with the team but no job title has yet been defined.

Favre retired from the NFL in 2010 and although there has been rumors that Favre was looking to return to the NFL, again, Brett has maintained a low profile since his retirement.  I think that Favre coaching high school football is a good fit, it gives him the opportunity to participate in the sport in which he loves so much without having to endure the spotlight that the NFL brings.
